Neil deGrasse Tyson's list of 8 books every intelligent person should read

I'd also recommend Guns, Germs, and Steel.

The art of war is really interesting

The books are good, Tyson's reasons to read them, for the most part, aren't.

The Bible: so you can learn why there are literally thousands of sects with varying interpretations in response to a book that apparently tells you "what to think."

..but not how to fix it..

Tyson is a racist ape
